As time goes by I am becoming more convinced of the validity of theories on abiogenic oil.

Funny you mention Carlin. In the '90's I was involved in several projects at both Barrick and Newmont. Spent many hours at both sites (though primarily at the Barrick site).

I worked 10-years for Barrick - all on overseas projects, but spent almost 20-years in Nevada working for other companies...we likely crossed paths at the Star in Elko, or the Griddle in Winnemucca.
